The Holiday Magic of “The Nutcracker” awaits audiences

Capitol Philharmonic of New Jersey is joined by American Repertory Ballet and Trenton Children’s Chorus for a performance of “The Nutcracker,” at 3 p.m. Dec. 11, at Patriots Theater Trenton War Memorial.

This holiday favorite tells the magical story of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as they battle toy soldiers and larger-than-life mice, and travel through a whirlwind of dancing snowflakes to the Land of Sweets.

Greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, Clara enjoys a suite of brilliant and joyful dances before opening her eyes to the familiar sights of her home, wondering if it was all a dream.

For the first time, American Repertory Ballet will collaborate with the Capital Phil-harmonic of New Jersey, led by conductor Daniel Spalding. These professional artists will be joined by the Trenton Children’s Chorus.
